The new faster sense of gunplay lends itself to getting stuck in and blowing apart as many enemies as possible, as fast as you can - meaning V.A.T.S. can take a bit of a backseat to the action. However, it has multiple hidden uses other than just limb-targeting and slow-motion finishers, one of which is literally being able to shoot grenades or other thrown explosives/weapons clean out the sky. You'll have to be fast on the button to trigger it, but thankfully the grenade indicator pops up on your screen as soon as the item leaves someone else's hand, so fire off V.A.T.S., lock on and blow it away right in front of their faces. Is there anything more badass than that?
